London's cycle superhighways have made the capitals roads more dangerous for motorcyclists, it was claimed today.

The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) said cycle superhighways slow traffic down, increase pollution and are "a waste of money".

They called for a rethink of the capital’s expanding cycle network.

But thousands of Londoners have benefited from the cycle superhighways, with figures suggesting roads with segregated cycle lanes are seeing a higher capacity of moving passengers since their introduction.

It comes after London business chiefs demanded Sadiq Khan come up with “new and innovative” ways to keep the city moving, with reconsidering the cycle superhighway scheme one of their proposals.

Statistics show London’s traffic speeds are falling and journey times are getting longer, increasing pollution and bringing an economic cost to London, which is forecast to have a mega-city population of more than 10 million by 2029.
